Incredible melting man waterfall gif7/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Even when the cops are about to shoot him at the end, he keeps repeating his name: “No! I’m Ted Nelson!”. Ted Nelson, a name that pops up with alarming frequency throughout the film (as does the rather unthreatening name of the melting man: “Steve”). But it seems this decision was made during the screenwriting process, not during filming, so I’m unsure if the other actors (particularly hero Burr DeBenning) were ever told that this wasn’t supposed to be funny anymore. I hated putting on monster makeup too, but if you sign on for a movie you do what you signed on for (especially when you’re not even a big star – this was only his third film, and the others seem to be supporting roles).Īnother thing I learned was that the movie was originally written as a parody of these sort of movies, but then they decided to make it a real monster movie, which might explain some of its rather silly plot elements. Well, fuck him, even if he was an executive producer of Home Sweet Home. And it may have even looked BETTER, as Baker had designed a few different stages of melting-ness, but the actor (Alex Rebar) refused to put on the appliances. And the makeup is incredible for its time Rob Bottin was apparently inspired by Rick Baker’s work here when he made the melting dude in Robocop, so just imagine that guy for an entire movie and you’ll get the idea. And he gets it in turn a would-be victim cuts his arm off around the one hour mark, and throughout the movie he is losing ears and other minor body parts. One of the first finds him tearing some poor bastard’s head off, followed by an unnecessarily long (read: hilariously awesome) shot of the head floating down the river and then falling down a waterfall and smashing against the rocks below. At least in American Werewolf In London he had someone to put him out of his misery this poor bastard just cries and melts to death while his best friend lies dead nearby (he was shot by the cops while trying to protect him). His anguished howls are actually kind of disturbing sure, he’s just killed a bunch of folks, but you can’t help but feel a bit sorry for the guy. Especially in hindsight, since (spoiler) the ending sees the death of both heroes, followed by the tragic titular character sort of moaning in anguish as he literally melts away, with parts of his torso and head just sort of sagging/falling off, until he’s just a pile of mush. I was almost kind of surprised when a little girl ended up escaping, because it seemed like the kind of movie that would have no problem offing a tyke. A lot of these things tend to be pretty light, but this movie is grim as all hell. ![]() but something’s not right!” movies I’ve seen I defy anyone to tell me that The Astronaut’s Wife is better than this.Īnyway, a big part of what makes it work is its dedication to the R rating. I don’t think I’ve seen a better movie about a melting man, and hell, it’s even better than some of the more basic “astronaut comes back from space. I bring up the Armageddon defense – show me a better movie about oil drillers going into space to blow up an asteroid if you think it’s so bad. You know what a genre movie with a really realistic plot is? Boring. But I actually found it pretty fun once you get past the silly concept, it’s a pretty traditional “unwitting victim on a rampage” movie, with a major downer ending that adds a touch of Romero-esque cynicism to the proceedings.Īs I’ve mentioned before, dumb plots are nothing to me. Each is unique and reminds us just how majestic our mighty God is.I wasn’t expecting much from The Incredible Melting Man, due to the fact that it was featured on MST3k and makes a few lists of the worst movies ever made (most of which I suspect are just made by lazy folks glancing at the list of movies that were featured on MST3k, but whatever). The photos reveal a night deep in darkness and the moon, invisible during the day, adorns itself with the channeled light of the sun. Perhaps that's why these beautiful digital renderings of the moon are drawing so much attention on the internet. RELATED: Man's Incredible Photos Of Mysterious Figure Glowing In The Clouds Go Viral Philippians 2:15 says, "Try to shine as lights among the people of this world, as you hold firmly to the message that gives life." When I look at the moon melting into a waterfall in these photos, I'm reminded of how we too are God's light. Standing in Jesus' light, even the ugliest of scars are brilliantly beautiful imperfections made perfect. Instead, the moon when it's in the right place reflects the sun's light. RELATED: The Internet Went Crazy For This Man's Photograph Of The Blood Moon This means there's actually no such thing as moonlight. You see, the moon doesn't actually pour celestial light onto the earth. We human beings tend to be broken in our humanity and we're filled with darkness until God shines His love on us and lights up the night. ![]()
